OK - couple of points.

1-cannot create it in the designer as it puts quote marks around anything that doesn't begin with a question mark.

2 - Created it in the INIT of the form and tried with a plain variable as well as preceeding it with an ampersand and then a question mark. Works even worse than before even if I make it public. Before it at least evaluated the first city on the list and displayed those results. This time it didn't even do that.

I'm stumped. It looks as though I have found a situation where a parameterized view does not work and I have to use a FILTER (which by the way I was doing before and it worked fine)
